Ode to the Miccosukee Tribe - Lee Tiger - Sharing Your World
A Short Introduction to the Miccosukee Heritage
In the poem I posted, Becoming One with the Sun, I left a comment regarding why I chose the video that accompanies the poem. I spoke of having written a TV commercial for the Miccosukee Tribe. My Cherokee spirit was attracted to that of the Miccosukee and I spent quite a bit of time there. At the time, Lee Tiger was the acting Chief. He has since become Chief. This poem is inspired by the spirit that entered my heart and my soul. I wrote this poem in 1985.
This is the result of thoughts of Lee Tiger.
It’s so rare
That you find
Someone
Who
Visits your Soul.
It may be
One Person in a million
But
God put him there
To
Reassure and
Remind
Us
Of the Reality
Of Love.
When this
Confirmation of Magic
Comes into my Life,
I know
It’s for a reason…
And it’s not up to me
To determine the Cause
Or analyze the Reason…
But
To enjoy the Experience
As long as it lasts.
Our abodes may be
Far apart…
But
Our Souls are neighbors.
And I’m going to
Drink up
Every drop
Of this wonderful,
Sweet nectar
That
We can share.
Lee Tiger is the backup singer in this video recording of his band, Tiger Tiger. His brother, Steve is lead. Unfortunately, Steve died several years ago.
Lee Tiger is playing piano. I did not know Tiger Tiger at the time of this recording. A decade later, I was privileged to join spirits.
